CC Switch v3.12.2

Common Config Protection During Proxy Takeover, Snippet Lifecycle Stability, Section-Aware Codex TOML Editing

中文版 → | 日本語版 →

Overview

CC Switch v3.12.2 is a reliability-focused patch release that addresses Common Config loss during proxy takeover and improves Codex TOML editing accuracy. Proxy takeover hot-switches and provider sync now update the restore backup instead of overwriting live config files; the startup sequence has been reordered so snippets are extracted from clean live files before takeover state is restored; and Codex base_url editing has been refactored into a section-aware model that no longer appends to the end of the file.

Highlights

• Empty state guidance: Provider list empty state now shows detailed import instructions with a conditional Common Config snippet hint for Claude/Codex/Gemini

• Proxy takeover restore flow rework: Hot-switches and provider sync now refresh the restore backup instead of overwriting live config files, preserving the full user configuration on rollback

• Snippet lifecycle stability: Introduced a cleared flag to prevent auto-extraction from resurrecting cleared snippets, and reordered startup to extract from clean state

• Section-aware Codex TOML editing: base_url and model field reads/writes now target the correct [model_providers.<name>] section

• Codex MCP config protection: Existing mcp_servers blocks in restore snapshots survive provider hot-switches via per-server-id merge instead of wholesale replacement, with provider/common-config definitions winning on conflict

New Features

Empty State Guidance

Improved the first-run experience with helpful guidance when the provider list is empty.

• Empty state page shows step-by-step import instructions
• Conditionally displays a Common Config snippet hint for Claude/Codex/Gemini providers (not shown for OpenCode/OpenClaw)

Changes

Proxy Takeover Restore Flow

The proxy takeover hot-switch and provider sync logic has been reworked to protect Common Config throughout the takeover lifecycle.

• Provider sync now updates the restore backup instead of writing directly to live config files when takeover is active
• Effective provider settings are rebuilt with Common Config applied before saving restore snapshots, so rollback restores the real user configuration
• Legacy providers with inferred common config usage are automatically marked with commonConfigEnabled=true

Codex TOML Editing Engine

Codex config.toml update logic has been refactored onto shared section-aware TOML helpers.

• New Rust module codex_config.rs with update_codex_toml_field and remove_codex_toml_base_url_if
• New frontend utilities getTomlSectionRange / getCodexProviderSectionName for section-aware operations
• Inline TOML editing logic scattered across proxy.rs now delegates to the new module

Common Config Initialization Lifecycle

The startup sequence has been reordered for more robust snippet extraction and migration.

• Startup now auto-extracts Common Config snippets from clean live files before restoring proxy takeover state
• Introduced a snippet cleared flag to track whether a user intentionally cleared a snippet
• Persisted a one-time legacy migration flag to avoid repeated commonConfigEnabled backfills

Bug Fixes

Common Config Loss

• Fixed multiple scenarios where Common Config could be dropped during proxy takeover: sync overwriting live files, hot-switches producing incomplete restore snapshots, and provider switches losing config changes

Codex Restore Snapshot Preservation

• Fixed Codex takeover restore backups discarding existing mcp_servers blocks during provider hot-switches; changed MCP backup preservation from wholesale table replacement to per-server-id merge so provider/common-config MCP updates win on conflict while backup-only servers are retained

Cleared Snippet Resurrection

• Fixed startup auto-extraction recreating Common Config snippets that users had intentionally cleared

Codex base_url Misplacement

• Fixed Codex base_url extraction and editing not targeting the correct [model_providers.<name>] section, causing it to append to the file tail or confuse mcp_servers.*.base_url entries for provider endpoints
